Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mark Doze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wanderson Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doze's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Don't Trust Me" by 3Oh!3. Silva has chosen Time 4 Sum Aksion-Redman as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kung Lao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joel Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lao's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mortal Kombat-Techno Kombat. Gonzalez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Cyanide by Metallica kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Joel Gonzalez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
